How to add one
- Pick a calculator below and press Copy.
- Paste the code into your page where you want the calculator to appear. In WordPress, use a "Custom HTML" block. In Wix, use "Embed code". In Squarespace, use a "Code" block. In Google Sites, use "Embed".
- Publish your page. That's it.
The last line of each code makes the calculator grow to fit as people use it. If your website won't let you add it, leave it out. The calculator still works, at a fixed height.
Pension payments and UC
How much more UC someone gets for putting money into a pension, and how much goes into their pension.
